Sounds like a problem. In a big way. While he says that it’s great as an in-home wireless flat-panel TV, it fails miserably as an out-of-home TV downlink. In his week-long real-world test, he was barely able to get video and audio streaming at the device’s lowest setting, and that’s while using a decent broadband connection from home to a high-speed coffee shop hotstop."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/sonylocationfree.jpg" /><br /> <br />Reading an article like this reinforces my belief that Sony has lost it's way. Samsung is going to eat Sony, bit by bit, because Sony just can't get their act together. :roll:

I've had the same thought also. :D Sony is trying to tie everything to them -- with no success -- and releasing "prototypes" -- without any (?) testing on their own behalf. I don't know what is going on at Sony, but it sure ain't anything good for their own sake... :roll:
